Do you know of South Cass ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about South Cass. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with South Cass.<1>

Our sources for South Cass (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of South Cass other than they indicate that South Cass would be found somewhere in Ionia County, Michigan.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1840 and closed  in 1899.
